2023 OCTOBER UPDATE

23 oct 23:36

what to say. Tried to sleep but can’t. Joint. Glass of whiskey.  Jazz on NTS. Luckily not some nervewrecking electronic muck. The kind I try to avoid making. 

The idea of everyone putting out music isn’t inherently positive in my mind.  Wondering if we have stopped creating heritage or history, as if everything now is of a fleeting nature we havent witnessed before. Art but everything really losing the need for physical form or context.

It reminfds me of the great nothing. Neverending story.

Everything complicated when really, plain and simple.  We certainly know how things will unfold. Our talent for postponing action, our yes but way of thinking is a clear predictor.

The war is an old tumor of festering hate rupturing. 

I am nervous again, My ears itching. Q-tips. More itching.
Am I avoiding conflict or causing?

No need to get into the details now.

















Again the question. What do I do with the time, the time I have and the time I am living in. Do I make work, completely detached from it, vaguely alligned or thought through.

These questions help in the background but once I start trying to incorporate them in my work they induce paralysis.

This need for art to become journalistic, or commentary on, moralistic. Takes art hostage in a way and much of the needed humor is lost.

This is where I like theatre. The contrast between a grave dialogue and an abstract backround or absurd setting. Spanning a distance in potential worlds. 

Abstraction in a scenery way, an abstract combination of real things.
Pure abstraction has in many ways already won the challenge of new form and meaning, now just an old champion still capable of great things but not flexible and changing. Missing the captivating emotional force of the abstraction in music. Can there be abstraction in music? Or is it all abstract?

Absurdist movement












Succes is when you get attention.
